Smooth entrance. An amalgam of citrus, apple and hazelnut. Lively effervescent, fresh and distinguished. So exotic and toasty. — 10 years ago

Domaine de Trévallon

Alpilles Cabernet Syrah 2010

50/50 cab Syrah, and an incredible amalgam of both. Nose heavily perfumed and somewhat flowery reminiscent of great norther rhones. Dark, deep, pure fruit with some balsamic and underlying purple flower notes. Also some red bell pepper in there if. Grippy, drying tannins - will get much better in a few years — 11 years ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004

Andrew Holod
9.1

Tasted blind. Amalgam of spicy red fruits, herbal tone (American oak?), beginning of bottle aged tertiary notes. Based in color (medium with clear rim), mouthfeel (fine, fresh, firm an slightly chalky finish); my guess 2005 Rioja. Not too far off. — 12 years ago

Oddero

Barolo Nebbiolo 1967

Dried flowers, old barnyard receding into the Amalgam of chocolate, leather, cigars. On the palate, deep fruits, decent acidity and integrated tannins. Years to go. A meat lovers dream. — 12 years ago

Celebration Fresh Hop Ale

Fast-moving fizz-fuzz that drops like a curtain to reveal a Dubuffet-esque remnant. Caramel and ginger, maple wood, golden raisin, cinnamon bread and baked pear nose. Raspy cedar, pointed nettle, pecan shell and walnut. Toasted wheat germ, orange bitters. The aforementioned slow-cooked into a potent amalgam. Winter wood trolls with tropical bounties stuffed into squirrel holes. Go nuts! #sierranevada #ipa #freshhops #celebrationipa — 11 years ago

Viña Errazuriz

Max Reserva Valle de Aconcagua Chardonnay 2013

Delighfully complex Chard for price. Lively lemon curd and apple on nose that opens to zesty tropical amalgam of oak, butter and citrus . The tantalizing finish will make you grin and wanting more. Pair with great company or egg drop soup!... Perfect and a steal under $20

Moss Wood

Wilyabrup Ribbon Vale Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2011

This is very sophisticated for an Aussie Bordeaux blend; from a great Margaret River vintage but horrible in many other Australian regions; no jam, no lolly, no oak intrusion; just complex earth, forest, mushroom, tobacco and terroir amalgam; palate taut and tasting of the aromas; medium body captures a fine wine; cannot but expect the positive effect of the merlot; #drinkaussie #wa #margaretriver #ribbonvale #mosswood #cabernetmerlot #2011 #bordeauxblend — 11 years ago
